The organizations and leaders within our industry want to expand upon and improve DEI initiatives, but frequently don’t know where to begin. Together, we are working closely with Dee C. Marshall of Diverse & Engaged to program an unforgettable lounge experience. At the inaugural OOH UNITED Lounge at this year’s GO OOH Media Conference and Expo, guests are invited to the space to see through a new lens and a different frame of reference. We encourage everyone to consider the lounge as a safe space for all individuals to connect, collaborate, and create change by taking the OOH UNITED pledge.

The OOH UNITED experience will transcend the lounge to the workshops and main stage at the conference. It will not only be inspiring, but will offer actionable advice and takeaways to build more diverse organizations and push us forward as an equitable industry.

The following topics will be covered:

  • The demands for more diversity and inclusion in advertising
  • The accountability in diversity & inclusion initiatives that is driving change
  • The mutual commitment to diversity & inclusion from clients
  • The “Great Resignation” and workforce diversity inside OOH
  • The stakeholder population and consumer reach outside of OOH
  • AND how to become a better ally

We can’t wait to see you in just a few short weeks!
